Dry Skin: Why Live With It When You Know There’s a Way Out?

In today’s world, where we all try to look and feel our best, we need to make sure that we are doing so in such a way that our skin retains its good health and still continues to glow and remain healthy. This is an extremely important factor to consider because otherwise the skin’s health starts deteriorating and you will realize it has gotten into an extremely bad shape over time which seems almost irrecoverable.

An impediment to attaining beautiful glowing skin is having a dry skin. Over time, the natural properties of the skin – its glow, softness, radiance, oiliness wither away because of exposure to environment that as harsh and almost unbearable for our skin. Dirt, smoke, filth etc. render the skin dry and harsh, almost feeling tight and stretched. A dry skin is one of the biggest reasons why people are dissatisfied with their skin and thus keep trying their best to improve upon the particular skin types that they have developed over time. A few reasons why dry skin happens to be undesirable are mentioned in the next section.

“Be patient. Your skin took a while to deteriorate. Give it some time to reflect a calmer inner state. As one of my friends states on his Facebook profile: “The true Losers in Life, are not those who Try and Fail, but those who Fail to Try.” ― Jess C. Scott

Dry skin- What Makes it Undesirable?

Dry skin becomes itchy over time because the natural moisture in the skin doesn’t get retained and is lost quicker than it is generated. This causes itching and discomfort.

Dry skin gets and feels very tight and stretched, feeling uncomfortable and as if it will tear apart any time.

It simply is uncomfortable, when you happen to have a dry skin and living with it becomes tougher and tougher with time as you start realizing other aspects of it.

Hmm, after seeing these points, it seems extremely important to have a skin type that is not dry and rather, one that is naturally glowing or “Normal-skin”. Individuals with this skin type have some considerable advantages over those with dry, and tight skins because they are in the natural state and able to retain their innate beauty. The advantages faced can be seen and analyzed hereunder.

Naturally Glowing skin

Naturally radiant in nature and seems to glow, separating these individuals from others.

The pore size is relatively smaller in this case and hence look cleaner and fresh.

Individuals having this skin type can chose from almost any cleansers that are available in the market without them having any side effect on the skin because they can naturally adapt to any such creams/cleansers without getting damaged.

Gives you more confidence and a wonderful feeling of self-worth.

Pimples or blackheads are rarely observed in people with naturally glowing skin because of smaller pores and lesser retention of oil or dirt as residue and more natural glow.

There are quite a lot of advantages and benefits of having a normal skin over a dry one. And the best part is, you can get such a natural-glowing skin even if you have dry skin and are tired of having one and struggling with it day in and day out. There are a multitude of dry skin face creams for dry skinthat are available in the market and are extremely effective, to get the natural state of your skin back.

Moreover, most of the creams come with a big price tag. Hence we have included a list of home remedies that can be followed to achieve your dream skin type!

Milk cream:

Milk has constituents that help in exfoliating the skin and opening the pores up. A few drops of lemon juice mixed with 1 teaspoon of milk and 2 of milk creams available can be rubbed on your body and left for a little while before bathing.

Milk:

It is perfectly alright if we use milk, and nothing else to achieve this. Soaking a cloth in milk and placing it on dry skin also does wonders and even lightens your complexion.

Coconut oil:

Having moisturizing capabilities, the oil helps with dry skin. Applying coconut oil over your body before going off to sleep helps the skin to get moisturized completely by the time you wake up and you will see results for yourself as you continue using this approach!
